 Btw, before interpreting my post there, maybe you should see this first:

							| Fortunately the content is not the same. You might see it as a compliment that someone takes over your layout.;-))   Greetings, Anke. |  9 Apr 2009

							| Katiana, I know exactly how you feel.   This kind of behaviour really gets up my nose�and if I hear that irritating clich� �imitation is the sincerest form of flattery� one more time, I�ll scream!!   In my opinion, it�s merely used as a cover for laziness, cutting corners and a dearth of creativity.     Keep up the wonderful work [Katiana].   |  9 Apr 2009

							| I personally think it is a big deal.  a.antonides and brune  are you holding up your heads because you are thinking too much????    If someone copied your style and didn �t even make an attempt to change the color or format a bit -  it would bother you.       Stop this ---.  I hate it when people pretend to be better than others.   |  9 Apr 2009

							| Katiana - It would bother me,  and the compliment thing doesn �t interest me.   If 2 women randomly show up at the same party wearing the same dress - they can tell eachother that they have good taste.     If 1 woman goes out and deliberately buys the same dress as another woman -  that �s stealing her thunder/idea  that �s not nice.     It �s just plain rude to steal someones style and pass it off as theirs.  |  9 Apr 2009

							| This same thing apened like a month ago with about a ws on St Patrick �s Day. People said that was not stolen. In the end, the second post was modifyed. 
 PS: Is it "in the end" or "at the end"?

							| I copied some pictures from the internet for some of my worksheets. these ws I �m mentioning were even published. but it was no soon that they were labeled as stolen. in brief, copying even the images is labeled "stolen" on this website. |  9 Apr 2009

							| For those of you who wrote what �s the big deal about someone using Katiana �s layouts...........
 
 the big deal is that Katiana has a style all her own and
 all the hard work she puts into her images and lay-outs characterizes her work and are an  integrated part of her style.
 
 Along comes someone else - uses/steals  her creativity and fills in some other examples.
 That, in my book, is theft!!!
 
 In my world of music writing, if a person "borrows" more than 1 minute of a melody, that person can be sued.
 
 I think these two examples are the same.
 Stop being lazy - and make your own stuff.

							| I have seen with amazement some teachers are real artists. My admiration and respect.
 
 I do not believe anyone can take other�s work (with or without content) to produce their own.
